Have you found yourself facing an Adobe Distiller (Adobe Acrobat Pro) error message something like this recently, when trying to print / output to a PDF file from a non-Adobe application on Windows? ' Unable to find Adobe PDF resource files' that mentions the directory ' C: Documents and Settings All Users Documents Adobe PDF Settings' and the supposed missing file ' Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions'?

Well, I ran into this, and after searching the Internet for fixes, I found a whole lot of people talking in vagueness about how to 'fix' this, to say the least, and providing little real information about how to fix the problem at hand (and, the advice produced zero resolution to the problem). Well, I figured it out myself, and I hope this information helps you.

', to which I (foolishly, hopefully) said 'yes' to, which of course does NOT fix anything. [note: I hate software like that!!! What is the point of a 'repair mode' that does not repair the issue at hand?] How to Fix / Resolve Well, if you are 'Unable to find Adobe PDF resource files' because your Acrobat Distiller can not find the file 'C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/Adobe PDF/Settings/Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions', let's get that file to exist!

It seems, from what I can tell, that Adobe Acrobat Distiller (i.e., the program that creates PDF files for you as a print-driver essentially), needs that EXACT NAMED FILE to exist, at that exact location. Never mind that you already have a 'Standard.joboptions' file defined, and that logic would dictate SHOULD be used in the absence of the file 'Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions'; you have to tell Acrobat 7.0 / 7.1 / 8.0 / etc that you really want that 'standard' one to be used for performing conversions from certain non-Adobe applications that you are trying to 'print a PDF from'.

Choose whatever '.joboptions' file makes sense as your 'default' for printing PDF files from your various Windows applications, and copy it to a file named. You guessed it: 'Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions' (in this same directory) I chose the 'standard.joboptions' file, and copied it.
